This cozy cottage is the perfect springboard to the wonderful Gippsland Lakes

With all the comforts of home, including a TV, reverse cycle A/C, and an undercover deck area with an outdoor dining space, you are sure to enjoy your getaway in this cute, modern cottage. This cozy cottage is the perfect springboard to the wonderful cafe and restaurant life along the Paynesville esplanade or take a stroll on the ferry to Raymond Island, enjoy the bird watching along the board walks and spot one of the local koalas.

Quiet oasis with great walks by the lake 200m away.
This is an exceptional addition to the extensive short stay environment of this beautiful part of East Gippsland. A no fuss base for all that the region has to offer with gorgeous hosts.

Cozy and well decorated cottage at the back of a property, so I felt safe. With the use of the bbq in a beautiful back yard meant that cooking amenities were available. The hosts are helpful with providing dining local options, directions and local knowledge.

Quiet and comfortable place to stay
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I went over to visit relatives and it was ideal for four nights as it had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Cooked a couple of meals on the BBQ which was ideal as didn't have to go out for dinner all the the time. Perfect for short term stay as it has everything you need for a great price. Definitely stay again when I have a return visit.

Quaint and Oh So Comfortable.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The photo here shows only the shed with the cooking area next to the cottage. The Cottage itself is delightful, charming and very comfortable. Don't be deceived by this photo. A great amount of attention to detail has been made by the owners to set it up. I loved the dolphin theme with the nicnacs. Only a short walk to lakeside and short drive into Paynesville town. Checkout the wine bar for local camaraderie. Overall: Better than Expected on my first time here and would definitely stay again.
